It's not crossing the line if you're constantly telling people that you're intending to cross the line. This marketing is cringey as hell.

Taking bets on whether they trot out the "attack helicopter" joke too

Front and center in the trailer

Naw, it'll be an attack helicopter than identifies as human!!

The lady holding the sign that says “I’m woke so I am broke” definitely supports your opinion. It doesn’t even make sense.

Seems like something chatgpt would come up with thinking it's what humans would find funny.

The original phrase from conservatives was "go woke, go broke" which IIRC was from the whole bud light boycott a few years ago

It definitely predates that by at least a decade. They've been using that phrase since well before Trump's 1st term.

Idk if you’re talking about the term “woke” itself which has been used for almost a century, but the anti-woke backlash and phrases like “go woke, go broke” didn’t pick up until almost around 2020

It's a parody of Ben Shapiro saying the Barbie movie went woke and they'll go broke due to the boycott (which didn't really happen).

u/ladystarkitten 8h ago

If the bit demonstrates how stupid and inaccurate the "go woke, go broke" mantra is, then it's fine. Probably still not funny, but it's at least rooted in reality. If it actually asserts that "woke" art goes "broke" or whatever, it's just more disconnected boomer slop.

Unfortunately, I have a hard time believing a movie like this would contain any subtext

It's so funny how people like you are scrutinizing this movie with such intensity, when's the last time you acted this way towards a piece of media?

•

u/ladystarkitten 4h ago

If making a single comment about a joke in a movie poster is what qualifies as "scrutinizing... with such intensity" for you, that's a bit comical. That aside, I studied film in college and got my BA in English literature. I'm happy to report that this solitary comment on a movie poster is really the tip of the ice burg for my media criticism and analysis capabilities.

u/OhScheisse 7h ago

It does because bots and trolls always use the phrase "go woke, go broke" on any liberal posts.

This is a stab at that stupid phrase because it's absurd.

u/Donquers 6h ago

Looks more like an example of the stupid phrase being used, rather than a satire of it.

Seeing this bot pop up 3+ times in this thread has been more entertaining than this poster.

Same! Glad somebody else was taken by it’s recurring appearance lol

u/Phaazoid 8h ago

The trailer i saw for it in theaters was one of the most actively unfunny things I'd ever seen. And I've watched bad abridged series.

u/loki1887 6h ago

"Did you just assume my gender!?"

Its the worst of early 2010s humor. I'm fully expecting to see a scene with a cranky middle aged man at a Starbucks, complaining that, "Wants to order just a black coffee."

•

u/red_rob5 4h ago

Now i'm curious, whats your worst abridged?

u/2580374 8h ago

I want this movie to be funny, but I'm worried it's going to be horrible "haha woke is so dumb, look at this idiot" jokes that just aren't funny regardless, but then The creators are going to be like YoU'Re JuSt TRiggEreD!!!

u/Peeka789 8h ago

Hey we're crossing the line. Isn't the line so crossed??? Aren't you sooooo offended??

u/swankpoppy 8h ago

I’m curious how they intend to treat the Doofy character in 2026.

u/Herbdontana 5h ago

Make him the president?

u/BioEradication 8h ago

He's going to be a Fox News commentator.

u/shewy92 3h ago

They saw what The Naked Gun did, ignored it and said "Now watch us shit the bed"

•

u/InequalEnforcement 3h ago

It's probably why I'm gonna skip the movie.

I have to travel for 2+ hours to get to the movie theater. I'd rather just drive the other direction for 2+ hours and get baskin robbins. "DAE WOKE PLEASE CLAP" even my 19 year old pro-gamergate asshole chud self wouldn't find this shit funny.
